I think it a matter of perception. He is ranked 21st in zone rating which backs up his "lack" of range, but that is a bit of a subjective number. His flat numbers are quite good defensively. In all honesty he is a quite competent, above average defensive shortstop.
So you would bench Peralta who had the best at bats of anyone on the team in post season and play Barfield?? You are a bit of a mystery.

Yes...I would have done this thing long before the reg. season ended.
I'm not sure where all of this numbers come from or how they are calculated.
The guy was horrible last year and even Wegde and Shapiro admitted that.
They got him up a little for this season......but you can't go from horrible to above average...can you? I see a sub par ss.....who also loves to lead or be near the top in so's.
I'd have Sizemore in left field,too, and Frank G. in center since he is by the overwhelming majority of Indians thinkers thier very best def. outfielder and a natural cf guy.Maybe runners will stop flying from first to thrid with great fequency then.
I happen to think def. first in any sport...and up the mid. def. in bb is very important in my mind.
I saw most of the Yankee series....if you can't see his deficiencies displayed in that series...then I'll say you win this one.
